Abstract
The mesangium is a highly specialized pericapillary tissue that is involved in most pathological processes of the renal glomerulus. Mesangial cells orchestrate inflammatory processes in the renal glomerulus by increased mediator production, increased matrix production, and increased mesangial cell proliferation.
